lol.. she's actually more adamant we keep it than I am. To be fair though, this car has been a lot of firsts for both of us, and then having the picture on the cover of JWO and our daughter giving it its first wash... not sure that could be topped.

she is tired of the constant work though.. but neither of us make enough to just hire everything out.. haha

Good for her. And you. My wife wants me to sell mine even though it's running perfectly.

Keep at it, you're overdue for some good luck!

ha! no kidding. I've gotta get the Olds sorted hopefully by spring..my to-do list is already growing on the other vehicles. The Ram has a delaminating touch screen that needs replaced, her Grand Cherokee needs a new bumper from when we got hit by a semi on vacation, and to top it all off she's now wanting to get a Wrangler from a guy I work with. The immediate needs of the one we're in conversation about is a new top and wheels/tires..and that's just that I know of without driving it.

When I bought the house, I thought 1 garage would be plenty. I was very wrong...

I'm glad it did it where and when it did, but I can't help but just laugh at my luck lately.

That's not actually a rupture - that line was worn through. See the flat spot to the right of the wet area? That line was rubbing against something, or something was rubbing against the line.

Or a manufacturing defect.

Fair point..yes it was worn through. I'm not sure what rubbed against it, but it was like that prior to me getting the car. I remember vividly eyeballing it especially once everything was hooked up to ensure it was out of the way. One of those things where, eventually I'd get to it before it became a problem. It still has plenty distance from anything that could've rubbed, so it just decided enough was enough.
